Look, sometimes the truth could hurt you so I blow my cig smoke right at the truth commercial.

Take away what we love, wed all be Joe Paterno.

Most important to me is being able to release music and have an astounding relationship with whoever would be distributing the music.

Don't ask for a cig' - I'm so self-centered, I won't even share this cancer.

I believe that life is meaningless without hope, which is really what that line is about. Without hope, what are we living for? I wouldn't wanna see where exactly I'd be in five years. I wouldn't wanna know my exact date of death. I wouldn't want to know my exact cause of death. Certain things I just want to allow to take place rather than just have the knowledge beforehand.

I'm lookin' forward to doin' a lot of big things. I've been doin' a lot of big things: a lot of traveling, a lot of recording - I'm excited.

I get a lot of support from the West Coast. But I think that's beginning to change. I think, as the awareness goes up, and as I continue to be consistent, more people from my area come around, and they're converted into Joe Budden fans.
